ToC projection update:
With a projected 81 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 2.9908 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.3383).
An average of 4.6246 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.6275).

An early cutoff took place 12.794% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).

(Note: Due to the possibility of a WGA strike, I feel that it is more accurate for ToC projections to add 20 games to the end of the previous projected qualifying period.)

Miscellany:

Judging note: Eagle-eyed viewers may note that while on the DIFFER BY A LETTER $1000 clue, Joanne’s lights appeared to have extinguished. However, those lights are not the official timing (as they start counting down after Joanne signals). Those lights had already lost significant time by the time Alex actually called on Joanne to respond, and the judges were correct to accept her response on that clue.

I guessed Amy Adams, mostly because I received the “Arrival” DVD just yesterday from Netflix. “What a coincidence,” I thought, thinking Amy was the correct response.

I was surprised that Melissa McCarthy made that much, mostly because I didn’t remember “Ghostbusters.” Then again, in looking up the highest-grossing movies of 2016, Amy was in #8 “Superman vs. Batman” and #31 “Arrival.” “Ghostbusters” was only the #21 grossing movie. Melissa also starred in the #61 grossing “The Boss.” But I guess that Melissa gets a bigger deal when she signs to make a picture, plus the “Mike and Molly” money she got for the final 13-episode season was probably a pretty penny, too.
